Better done in bed than on the Steam forums.

I agree. I would even go as far as to say that the entire marketplace should go along with user to user trading. Unfortunately, I see them getting rid of points awards before the trading/marketplace features.

For once you've made a good suggestion, even though it was most likely completely on accident. That said, I don't see it ever happening since trading is also definitely a huge source of income for Valve.

With the way some get rather flabbergasted that their suggestions never come to fruition and repeat suggestions leads me to believe they are dreaming. Either way it is entertainment for me.

I would love trading to be removed. It should all just go through the Steam Market, imho. Sadly, it is one of those things where once you open it, it is incredibly hard to close it again.

So we are stuck with trading.

....and it just keeps churning.

Millions of users use it correctly and responsibly but remove it because some don't? Yeah, no.

You think they'll be a day where a suggestion of yours adds value, rather than always taking something away?

now THAT would be an interesting add to the act.

It clearly causes more trouble than it's worth on this platform

Except not really.
All the safeguards and warnings have reduced scamming in the platform to a nominal value.

You can't make a system proof against all fools. But Steam has it quite close to it.

There's many inventory items that do not translate well to a marketplace only enviroment. And quite some of them come from Valve games.

All the TF2 economy would turn upside down the moment all items became part of the marketplace (and had an actual monetary value), for example.

PUBG did the right thing.

Sadly, I am sure there are 3rd parties that already gave them a value. Even more so that they are not marketable.

But making them non-tradable would't mean they had to become marketable either.

I agree.

It stops 3rd party sales where people "cash out" and stops skin gambling.

But for example, in TF2 making those items not marketable along not tradable would basically crash the in-game economy. Same for other games.

If that would be a good thing or not is a complete different debate.
